Vista - How to use the Vista with the other os like XP and Fedora

After installing Vista i am not able to boot to the other os existing in my
m/c. Please help to use Vista along with the existing os. Is there any way to
correct/update the bootloader from Vista? Can anybody help??

Windows, any flavor, writes it's own bootloader. To restore your GRUB
or LILO boot loader, boot on the Linux CD and select the proper
option(s).

I doubt it can be done from within Vista but maybe someone knows how?

There is a "Super Grub Disk" that claims to be able to repair/restore your
MBR in
Linux or Windows. I haven't used it personally but at some user forums
others have
claimed it worked for them. Here's a link

Hey guys thanks for the response. Atlast i found out the solution.

First i installed the vistabootPRO3.3 in vista. With that i corrected dual
boot issue between XP and vista. Here the only thing we have to make sure is
ntload, ntdetect and boot.ini should present in your boot drive and the rest
you can do from VistBootPRO. In my case Vista is in boot drive (c.

Second i used Fedora CD to install the GRUB again (use rescue mode).
